I hope it's the other way round personally. Greatest is greatest, but I don't have to like him.

Im a bit more neutral tbh.I think whatever happens Rossi,s previous record will entitle him to be called G.O.A.T for a very long time to come.Im a fan of his riding and what he has single handedly done for the sport,have been for a long time.Lorenzo however is a superb rider with very few weaknesses.Its going to be fascinating whatever happens.Expect mind games to come to the fore.
At that level most of the difference is in the mind.Rossi has thus far been very good at living rent free in other peoples heads.
I well remember him destroying Gibernua,Biaggi and several others mentally.

Very difficult to compare people from different eras, but Rossi has IMHO been above all others in terms of skill. Rossi is also a bit of a character which has added a lot to the sport. Lorenzo has matured into a very fine rider, with both of them having no real weaknesses, so it is going to be a very interesting season. 

Agostini, Nieto, Surtess, Mike the Bike Hailwood, Roberts, Dunlop, Doohan have all left their mark on the history of the sport.
